Is infanticide legal in Indiana?A newborn child died needlessly from an infection that apparently could have easily been dealt with through antibiotics.
The unfortunate infant had parents who are members of the General Assembly Church of the First Born, a controversial group that teaches its members to avoid doctors and eschew medical care.
It seems the couple stood by as their child suffered and died.
Parents in groups like this have been prosecuted and laws were enacted in Colorado specifically regarding this issue to avoid further tragedies.
But it appears that in Indiana such fanatics are safe and may be allowed to essentially kill their children.
Indiana's child neglect law "allows parents to provide prayer instead of medicine" reports WISH TV.
However, the question still remains, are these parents guilty of infanticide?
And if the laws of Indiana don't protect children subjected to such seemingly wanton and criminal neglect shouldn't the law be changed?
